You Heard It Here First!

Okay... So, President Bush has asked for UN support for Iraq. Yeah, right... The US Armed Forces are more than capable and adequate in terms of numbers to keep peace and help rebuild a country the size of California. But wait a second!! WHY THE HELL is the United States government getting itself involved in Iraq, anyway? We still haven't found Saddam Hussein. We still haven't found weapons of mass destruction. I agree with Anne Applebaum who writes that the decision to go to the UN is a re-election ploy by the current administration. I'll take it a couple of steps further!

Riddle me this... Currently, this administration has been very open on it's stance that this is a war against terrorism. A war against a way of thinking, not any particular religion, government or belief system. A war against people who are (agreeably) insane, angry and given training and tools to become dangerous weapons in a war with no end in sight.

What's to stop Mr. Bush from declaring a state of emergency. Hell... How about staging a terrorist attack, declaring martial law and dissolving civil liberties and the Constitution for as long as necessary?

I hope that these thoughts are completely off base but I've been right before and it's my greatest hope and desire that I'm wrong this time!
